Jane Austen’s Dragons

Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley has the good fortune to  be in possession of the first English firedrake egg laid in  a century. Or, at least, he was until some miscreant stole  it.

Mr. Darcy tracks the thief to Hertfordshire. Catching the  thief, however, proves to be an entirely different kettle of brimstone, especially when he encounters fellow  Dragon Keeper, Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourn.

Elizabeth Bennet’s deep connection to dragons and remarkable grasp of their lore make her the ideal

companion for finding the egg. It’s too bad that from their introduction she finds Darcy arrogant, conceited, and selfishly disdainful of the feelings of others.

Time is running out for Darcy to win Elizabeth’s trust and recover the precious egg before it hatches, and the fragile peace between humans and dragons is lost forever.

Meryton meets Pern in a fantastical regency romp bound to delight readers of Jane Austen and Anne McCaffrey alike.

Book 1 in the Jane Austen's Dragons series.

Fitzwilliam Darcy finds caring for a baby dragon more of a fraught guardianship than anticipated. Little Pemberley may have survived a perilous hatching and still successfully imprinted on humans, but she’s pining for one particular human to the point she is fast becoming a danger to herself and others.

Elizabeth Bennet may yearn for baby Pemberley, but she has her own share of misfortunes to manage. Her cousin Mr. Collins, heir to the Longbourn entail, has decided that marrying her will add very greatly to his future happiness. While the estate dragon agrees--and insists she accept him-- Elizabeth and the rest of Longboun's dragons insist he is the last man in the world whom she could ever be prevailed on to marry--a better dragon's dinner than a husband.

It’s disappointment and spleen all around as Lady Catherine de  Bourgh involves herself in the affair after hearing reports of a  most alarming nature. There are few people in England besides herself who could make things worse. In that, Lady Catherine is a true proficient.

Baby Pemberley’s fate is caught in a deadly tangle of families and fortunes, forcing Darcy and Elizabeth to take the biggest gamble of their lives to win or lose it all.

Book 2 in the Jane Austen's Dragons series.

Elizabeth Bennet, Dragon Keeper, accidental guardian of  Pemberley the young firedrake, and even more accidentally  betrothed of one Fitzwilliam Darcy, would beg to disagree.  Banished from her home, her marriage indefinitely delayed,  and desperate to secure Pemberley’s future, Elizabeth must  tame a rogue dragon who is determined that she is the last  Dragon Keeper in the world whom he would ever accept.

Darcy cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which upended every expectation he had for his future.  That is not to say this particular future with Elizabeth is unwelcome. But he never expected for that future to be stayed whilst he was called so very far away from her, caught in the  middle of keeping the fragile peace between dragons and  humans. Darcy discovers a treacherous plot against Elizabeth.  More shocking, the heart of the conspiracy beats in someone  very near and dear to her.

With war on the horizon, time is running out for Elizabeth and Darcy to save the dragons and any hope of a future together.

Book 3 in the Jane Austen's Dragons series.

He was reconciled to the fact he was father to some of the silliest girls in the country. However, he had suspected for some time that little Elizabeth was different. When she befriended the old tatzelwurm in the woods, he was convinced.

As much as her father might rant and storm about the need for secrecy and expect that to be the end of it, Elizabeth cannot contain her curiosity about all things draconic. Nor, would it seem, could she stem the development of her unique and prodigious talent for bonding with the creatures.

When Elizabeth discovers an abandoned clutch of fairy dragon eggs, Mr. Bennet finds an unhappy alternative before him. Somehow, he must save the dragon eggs, contend with the jealous estate dragon, and keep it all hidden from his family…or risk exposure of England’s greatest secret and the breaking of the Pendragon Treaty that keeps the tenuous peace

between man and dragon.

And through it all, can he help his precocious, passionate daughter find her place in a dangerous world that little tolerance for little girls.

Book 4 in the Jane Austen's Dragons series.

One would think Anne Elliot, a baronet’s daughter, would find the marriage mart far easier to navigate than a more ordinary woman. One would be wrong.

After refusing a poor, but otherwise perfect sailor, on the advice of her friend Lady Russell, Anne finds an unhappy choice before her: marry deathly dull Charles Musgrove or hope against hope that another suitable proposal might come her way before she becomes a spinster on the shelf.

Anne’s disgracefully independent choice to refuse Charles’ offer turns her world entirely arsey-varsey and not in the expected  turned upside down sort of way. She begins to see things … hear things … things like dragons.

And once one sees dragons, one talks to them. And when one talks to them, nothing is ever the same again.

Must a young lady marry well if she hears dragons?
